Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Paul Ryan, Meet Charlie Pierce

http://www.esquire.com/blogs/politics/paul-ryan-heritage-foundation-speech-6530510

As TBogg says, Pierce's blog is rendering the rest of the internet superfluous.

As usual, Jon Chait is a little more thorough and wonky in his fisking of Ryan.  Still worth a read, even if it lacks the acerbic, biting wit of Pierce.
